I'm happy on the new found power of my E39. Just got the VF Engineering supercharger installed, upgraded my tranny to Level 10, got the supersprint exhaust and EMP stewart water pump. During the install, we found a crack on the cyclinder head so we replaced that too. I also considered replacing all the bushings so I can enjoy the bimmer handling. I will be keeping a blog here so I can the story and lessons learned of supercharging at over 130,000 miles.
